BARBADOS NEWS.

Absence of rain, bright suns, good breezes,
and abundance Of dust have been the charac-
t%eristics of the past fortnight. Sugar-makln8
has consequently gone on vigorously. In a
short time the smaller estates IN the island
will have finished reaping, and the larger es-
tates will hurry to the close. The yield from
the canes continues good, and some excellent
samples of sugar have been seen IN Town.
Prices were better a fortnight since, but they
have not been firm. The tendency is down
ward. A large quantity Of sugar is IN stores,
and on estate stancheons, but the tune IS
coming when it will be taken for shipment,
and in three months from this the crop Of 1887
will be off the field and for the most part out
of the country. We cannot say much OF the
young canes. They are holding their own in
the absence Of rain, and are more forward
than might have been anticipated, under the
circumstances. Provisions continue plentiful
and cheap. Vans can be boughtfor 4 shillings
and six pence the hundred pounds, and pota-
toes for one shilling and six pence. Imported
stuffs are also abundant and cheap. The week
before Easter there was a brisk trade IN Town,
but the dulness has followed, as usual.
The Easter holiday was quiet and cheerful,
Churches were crowded, and Monday was d
day of pleasure in all directions. The weather
was all that could be desired, The nights
have been splendid, and although we are
reminded that we have entered upon our sum
mer weather, there is breeze enough to a
the heat endurable.-Gl0be, 14tb, april.

PROHIBITION OR RESTRICTION.
IN. y. Times 1priL 9th

The large vote cast in the Ntale OF
Michigan in favour Of the prohibition
amendment of the Constitution is an
indication cf a growing sentiment in
favour Of some public policy which
shall efectually restrict the traffic in
intoxicating liquors. It shows that a
very much larger number Of voters
have been induced to vote for prohibi-
ton when presented in this way than
could be brought to support a Prohl-
biti0n ticket at a State election. In
1884 the Prohibition vote in Michigan
was Is, 4O3, and in 1886 il rose to
1888; but this vas only about 81
per cent, of The total vote of the State.
The Prohibition vote showed even a
larger increase in other States in the
two Wars following the Presidential
election. In New York it increased
from "a, 999 in 1884 TO 36,414in 1885,
in Pennsylvania it rose from 1928

led by n political party OF the other,
and is pretty sure to receive a very
large number of votes that would not
leave the regular party candidates in
an ordinary political canvass. There
is no doubt that a large proportion
of the voters who cast their ballots for
prohibition when the question is pre-
sented i'll a way that does not endan-
ger party ~ascendency DO 20 because
it is the only alternative of1ered..a a
means of curtailing the evils Of the
liquor traffic. The neglect of both
political parties for many years to
present any policy for dealing with
those evils or for restricting The traffic
itself leads men to support any pro-
position which is directed against
what they see to be a great public
evil. 1t is because no effective sys-
tenn Of regulation is proposed that
they are induced to cast their votes
for absolute prohibition.
No rational man who studies the
subject can fail to see that prohibition
is a crude and ineffective way Of deal
ing with it; but there are thousands
who will favour that method so long
as none more practicable il offered. II
is seen that the license system rs it
now exists does not prevent the extern
sion of The liquor rHffic to dimensions
which would hardly he exceeded if
there was no p%rctence at all of restric-
ton. It is quite time some rational
system of regulation were presented
MS an alternative to the policy OF pro-
hibition. Such a system must take
account Of public sentiment as it pre-
walls not only in different States but
in the different communities which
make up the same State. While we
believe that prohibition az it is com
monty defined by it's advocates, ihnt
is, that absolute prohibition of the
manufacture. and sale of intoxicating
liquors as beverages, is wrong in
principle and impossible of enforce
ment anywhere, it may be admitted
that an. community that is able to
suppress dramShops, where these Ii
quors are openly sold to be drank on
the premises, should have The OPP
portunity Of doing so. Where this
cannot be done, Their" should be p
system of regulation which will nd
init of the utmost restriction that
public sentiment will sustain.
The direction which public policy
should take on this quesio is plainly
that OF high license with local option,
and high license may mean something
different in different communilirs, A
license lee that would be proper aud
necessary for the purpose aimed at in
large and popul"us cities might be
higher than would be required in
smaller places. In such places it
might have the effect of prohibition in
leading to II tolerated evasion Of the
law. The bost system therefore
would grade licenses with due re-
gard 10 the requirements OF cities
and towns of different populations,
making the fees MS high as they could
be sustained, and allowing every
where the right to grant no licenses

THE FOREIGN BUDGET.

A DUBLIN dispatch says the appeal of Mr..
William Brien, editor of United Ireland,
against the sentence of three months impris-
onment imposed on him by the Mitchellstown
court has been refused and the sentence of
the lower court confirmed.
After the recorders decision had been an
nounced Mr.. O'Brien attempted to leave the
building to speak to some friends. The in
spector Of police refused to let him go. Mr..
OBrien insisted on his right, and had n strug-
gle with the police, when they stopped him.
Mr.. Harrington lent him assistance, but, finding
II was useless To resist the police, returned to
the solicitors table and shouted for justice, de-
clarng that Mr.. O'Brien could not DO legally
arrested as no warrant had been signed The
recorder sided with Mr.. Harrington and said
that Mr.. OBrien should CO. Mr.
Stokes. the magistrate. thereupon shouted :
DO not lot him go. 1 will be re-
sponsible for the consequences" Mr.. HarTing-
ton then exclaimed, at the top of his voice :
ity is defed." There were cries OF Let him
out!" and n fierce struggle ensued between the
people and the police guarding Mr. OBrien.
Meanwhile the Magistrate had signed war;
rant for the arrest of Mr.. Bren and he was
removed to the rear Of tho court house in Gus
tody. During this exciting scene in the court
room $4,000 people remained in the street out

Mr.. O'Brien and vengeance upon the police.
The Irish editor O'Brien has been safely
lodged in the jail at TulIamore, fifty miles

CHICAGO special of Saturday says
A sensational report is telegraphed from
Pittsburgh that Thomas Owens, a carpenter
who had been killed at Homestead, a small
station near Pittsburgh, had made n confession
before his death that he had thrown the bomb
at the Haymarket riot. A man named Piper
who worked with Owens, testified ut the Coro-
ner's inquest on Owens body that Owens had
told him in confidence that he belonged to
the same group OF anarchists rs Spies and
Parsons and mad gone to the Haymarket meet
ing with Schnaubelt. his chum, from whom he
received the bomb after il was lighted He
threw it and ran and then left Chicago. The
Chicago police don't take any stock in the
story. Capt Setback says that Owens is the
latest addition to the list Of cranks who imag-
Inc they threw the bomb. He says that before
the trial he had four different men locked up
who were firm in the conviction that they indi-
vidually threw the bomb The condemned
archists themselves say they never heard of
Owens, and pronounce the story as utterly "im-
probable"
CHICAGO dispatch of Saturday says:
@Louis Lingg is the only one of the condemned
anarchists who now stands in the way of the

obstinate as he was the day that the police
first placed him in custody"
